[Scilab-Dev] lib() unavailable on YaSp?

[Antoine ELIAS]

".bin" are a "dump" of Scilab 5 macros stack representation, so it is impossible in Scilab 6 to reproduce it.
I am afraid that you need to rebuild your toolboxes especially to Scilab 6.

Some compatibility points will be managed by ATOMS.

example :

tbx_2
  -> deps : tbx_1 ( any )

If you install tbx_2 on Scilab 6, atoms will looking for latest version of tbx_1 >= 6
If you install tbx_2 on Scilab 5, atoms will looking for latest version of tbx_1   5.0 <= x < 6 ( not currently coded, we need to update process that generate ATOMS dependencies )

But yes, that a lot of work to rebuild all toolboxes for Scilab 6, check behaviors, tests, demos, dependencies.

Anyway, thank you for the problem analysis.
